Camping is defined as "the activity of spending a vacation in a camp, tent or camper." So says one dictionary, anyway. For some of us, it's simply getting away from "home base" for a night, preferably in nature. Below, in photos and captions, some recent one-night getaways in Michigan's far-north (Upper Peninsula). This lighthouse, captured … Continue reading Camping
Summer is short on Lake Superior. As I write this in late August, it already feels like fall -- a good time to reflect on some midsummer memories in photos. It's been an off-kilter summer in many ways, so this is much delayed. More to come soon... Since a house has been added at Camp … Continue reading Midsummer, Remembered
I've camped around bears and beavers and tiny biting things, but never wild horses -- until this week. Wow. They may be wild, but they sure are bold. Chincoteague Island is more known for wild horses because of the book ("Misty of Chincoteague") and its "pony swim." (A pony is just a smaller version of … Continue reading Camping With Wild Horses
We like Canada, don't we? We're not only neighbors, we're friends. (At least I think we still are, though recent political trends have caused some strain.) And we share a continent! So I was glad to get to know it better during our recent Lake Superior Circle Tour. This is Pt. 2 of my first … Continue reading Lake Superior Circle Tour – Pt 2
We did it in 12 days. It's wasn't The Great Loop - but it was a loop, and it was great!

I grew up on this lake, and saw "Circle Tour" … Continue reading Lake Superior Circle Tour – Pt 1
We wanted to open up the water-view -- the next step in developing Camp Many Moons on Huron Bay. That meant removing the 26-foot trailer from the waterfront. So we did. Now we have a wider water-view. Yay. But we didn't count on the extra excitement. That story, and more, in photos and captions below. … Continue reading #$@x! Happens While Seeking “A View”
While building my house on Huron Bay, we live in a trailer. I call it a camper. So I guess we are "camping" -- even though, in my experience, camping requires a tent. I've been living this way for several months a year, over 4-5 years. I love camping, whether by tent or trailer. In … Continue reading Autumn Camping
September 8, 2020. This is my wake-up view, before I even leave my tent. It's 50 degrees, and my cozy camper is just 30 feet away. So why am I sleeping here? Look again. That's why. Nature is so close, in a tent. I've been sleeping in tents since my teens. I made some adjustments … Continue reading In Praise of Tent Camping
